How Kalshi and Polymarket differ

Kalshi and Polymarket both offer markets on real-world events, but they operate on different rails and under different rules. Kalshi is oriented to a regulated US venue with its own UX and product constraints; Polymarket runs on Polygon using pUSD and the Gnosis CTF for outcome tokens. These differences matter for order routing, settlement timing, and geography. Polymarket trades through a CLOB and uses the UMA optimistic oracle for resolution; Polymarket also sponsors gas via a Relayer and uses ERC-1155 outcome tokens.

Why intra-Polymarket arbitrage exists

On Polymarket, binary and multi-outcome prices should sum to $1.00. When best-ask prices across outcomes sum to less than $1.00, an intra-market arbitrage opportunity appears: buy the full set and lock the arithmetic difference as edge. That edge can be captured quickly by bots because spreads on liquid events open and close in seconds. PolyArb is built to exploit those windows with low latency and preconfigured alerts.

What PolyArb brings to traders

PolyArb is a non-custodial arbitrage bot service tailored to Polymarket markets. For $99/month you get 40ms latency versus roughly 800ms for many free bots, plus Telegram and Discord alerts to act on fills and opportunities. The product advertises a $7.62 minimum guaranteed edge per trade and runs live today. It handles order placement through Polymarket’s CLOB models without holding your funds, and it integrates split/merge/redeem operations through the Relayer.

Risks and practical trade considerations

No arbitrage is truly without risk. Resolution disputes via UMA, partial fills or slippage, fee changes, smart-contract risks, and settlement timing can all affect realized profit. Polymarket maker fees are zero, while taker fees vary by category (0%–1.8%); those fees matter to net edge. Before automating, validate market liquidity, tick size behavior near extremes, and geo restrictions. PolyArb provides alerts and latency advantages, but you must still consider these operational risks.
